Oh man I LOVE this shirt. Anyone wanna buy it for me for 11 bucks and then in a day or so send the 11 back to you? I am waiting for some paypal transfers to go through.
Hummingbirds flap their wings around 90 times a second. Hector flaps his wings about 9 times a minute. I've gotta get me some of the nectar Hector's drinkin'.
This is very nice! I've seen your work somewhere before, cause I've seen the side art with the monster and the rabbit someplace.....
OH and the squirrel is AMAZING I laughed so hard when I saw that!
Is it just me, or does everyone say "omg must have side art as a tee" ?
i bet a hundo everyone saying it would be saying it if the designs were flipped. Its almost like not having any input at all on the shirt at hand. Its just saying the artist has more than one good design.
absolutely LOVE the zombie squirrel and really lovin' the bunny eater one too. omg, i want both of those. this print is good too i just wouldn't wear it.
So, did the squirrel get his fur tattooed before or after the zombie outbreak? I find them superfluous and distracting in what would otherwise be a strong design.
Nice style, though. I dig the detail and colour in all the work shown.
Listen to all of these comments, PLEASE, about the side art. Go through the archives and check the comments. Every shirt gets much criticism, but the side art is always loved and much more wanted.

I'm trying to figure out why you need to know when the squirrel got his tatoos, Ada. I'm just curious. The tats caught my eye, too. But I think they're clever additions. Besides, they can't be tatoos anyway since the squirrel has that lovely death-gray colored fur. So what I think is that the critter must have had them air-brushed on, starting a whole new rage for tree-dwelling zombimals...or, you're right...they could have been painted before the sqirrel turned crazed killer. Cool designs, too. Oak leaves, vegan symbol and acorn.
Well, Ada, with any luck you'll discover that the "tats" are really washable air-brushings that will be removed at first washing. Maybe another blogger who is as delusional as we are (what do you mean the squirrels aren't real?) will fill us in on the true nature of the tatoos and the timing of their applications.
Congrats on the printing and yes, I would buy the squirrel t-shirt if it was printed some day.
evilrocketeer said: The side art is sometimes more demanded than the shirt offered
This is because people who like the shirt buy it. People who don't buy are generally the ones commenting.
Interesting phenomenon: when we take former side art that people requested and sell that (something we do fairly often, btw), many people still beg for the new side art :)
jimiyo said: BTW, we have a couple of killer Zombie designs coming up the next few weeks.
YAY!!! designs of late have been a little 'soft' so looking forward to some zombie action! would be great if we could choose the side art designs instead sometimes as they are often better than whats running on the actual t-shirt of the day!
thank you for all the comments!!!!
to answer some of your questions:
-yes, hector and nectar rhymes, so i thought it would be a nice name for him :)
-the monsterhill with the lil bunny was printed for anothersite recently...it's sold out now.
-zombie squirrel will be available at "lafraise" within the next weeks...so unfortunatelly it won't be up for sale here
All of your illustrations are wonderful! This tee is not my personal style but I love that Teefury is giving real artists a chance instead of forcing out half-baked exploding bacteria references!
If that Yeti & Bunny t-shirt was available somewhere I would probably buy it...
Nice, but I'd really like to see that zombie squirrel one done... despite the fact that a zombie squirrel would eat other non-infected squirrels instead of acorns, but I'll suspend my disbelief... just this one.
Listen to all of these comments, PLEASE, about the side art. Go through the archives and check the comments. Every shirt gets much criticism, but the side art is always loved and much more wanted.
Duh! Haven't YOU and everyone else who makes this complaint noticed that the side art is almost always better, usually much more detailed and time-consuming? Do you think this is coincidence? No, you think it is a mistake. It's intentional! Don't you think there is some sort of calculus going on involving what the artist is willing to let a particular piece go for, what he/she will be compensated, and the amount of time they put into the piece? So they let a lesser work go on the cheap t-shirt site. Jeez. It's not rocket science.
Love this so much! I'm tempted to buy it despite the fact that I hate wearing white. I adore the zombie squirrel too btw. I would buy that one without hesitation! :)
Zombie!!! Yah!!! If the designs are kickass enough I'll be buying 2, so my boyfriend can have one as well. Yes Hun, I'll buy you a shirt...I know you haunt this site too :P but ONLY zombie shirts. Thems the breaks!
Totally just bought this! I was watching the humming birds at the feeder this morning and then I log on to see this shirt.....needless to say the buy happened instantly!

This!
What everyone seems to forget is that the ARTIST selects which work to give to Teefury to print. The sideart is generally just an overview of the artists style. Often if you follow the link to the artist's portfolio, you'll find some of the designs for sale on other t-shirt sites.
yes to all of the people who think the hat says Hector. It says NECTAR
which is the stuff the birds get out of the flowers. If it said Hector the shirt wouldn't be funny.
fun fact: at any instant in time, hummingbirds are only hours from death because of their incredibly high metabolisms. That's why they have to eat continuously.
-zombie squirrel will be available at "lafraise" within the next weeks...so unfortunatelly it won't be up for sale here
So many people still asking for it tho you've mentioned this.
Silly Rabbits.
Ha, yeah, I was in so much of a hurry this morning I totally missed that. Never bought from lafraise before, but I guess I will now. Oui oui. I'd still love an answer to this if anyone cares to do so:

megantron said: fun fact: at any instant in time, hummingbirds are only hours from death because of their incredibly high metabolisms. That's why they have to eat continuously.
neat! i have three feeders out on my porch. they are interesting to watch
I love how the other hummingbirds have a look of disdain for Hector!
In other news, is there a way to know how many shirts were sold on a particular day? Yesterday we had a Teevil saying Coffey Bunny was a "hot item"; how many shirts constitutes a hot item jimiyo?!
hector reminds me of a science teacher i had once... strange, she was a girl 0_o and probably more fat... *anyways* i would instantly but the zombie-squirrel shirt
Aw jeez, I really like it! It's so adorable and I love birds. ~ Too bad I just used all my money. >:
I sitll havent bought a shirt on here yet, I look forward to do it soon!
supermel_69 said: As a hispanic should I be offended the "LAZY" hummuningbird's name is Hector
No. When I hear the name Hector, I think of the character from Greek myths. And that name was probably chosen because it rhymes with nectar :)
no i think it says nectar
It does, lmfao
but the name of the tee is "Hector the lazy hummingbird"
Yeah, but if you look at the picture it does, in fact, say "nectar" not hector.
...and?
You're so missing it.... WOOSH! right by your head.
I guess I should have looked back to see all the replies I got.
1- duh the hat reads nectar I'm not an idiot! The name of the design is "Hector the lazy hummingbird"
2- I was effing kidding I cracked myself up when I thought of that comment I was trying to be funny
3- chill out it's a t-shirt forum. but obviously I'm awesome since I sparked so much conversation :)
hector's got brains! the idea for this came up to my mind when i read an article about hummingbirds. it said: "hummingbirds do not spend all day flying, as the energy costs of this would be prohibitive; the majority of their activity consists simply of sitting and perching."
What do you do for a living?
I'm a freelance illustrator and graphic designer. recently i also started to run my own label "denada" including an onlineshop. there you can get some one-of-a-kind toys i made, posters and apparel.
What influences your work?
everything! other artist's works, internet, books, music, tv etc...
Do you have any particular hobbies?
my biggest hobby besides my work as an illustrator is illustrating :) other than illustration i try to do sports and get some fresh air outside, meet my buddies and party.
What are you current five favorite songs?
hmmm, i really like "dance wiv me" by dizzee rascal and "turn the page" by the streets but these are a bit older already. usually i just listen to several livestreams. depending on my mood it's charts stuff, rap, instrumental or even salsa music ;)
Is there somewhere in the world that you'd like to be right now?
yeah, how about any caribbean island because it's sooo damn cold right now here in germany!
